SEA-CHANGE OR PERFECT STORM? -- Just a Minute Radio for Wed. 01-20-10

            Great day in the mornin’ folks…

 

            A seismic event in the political world occurred last evening. You remember there was to be a special election in Massachusetts yesterday.  It was the special election that turned into the *really special* election – and by now I’m guessing most of you have heard about it if you follow politics at all – and these days we all need to be interested in what’s happening to us.

 

            By 9 PM EST last evening the die was cast.  Despite President Obama’s most diligent efforts to shore up the candidacy of Mrs. Coakley in MA… she went down to defeat by a seven point margin in the contest to see who would occupy the Senate seat of the late Senator Ted Kennedy.  It wasn’t totally unexpected – but has caused a tidal wave of Tsunami proportions in the American political scene.  I won’t bore you with the details which is all over all the news media.  What I believe *is* important is one of the vital things about America. When the people are willing and able to express their will – they WILL be heard. And last night was, as far as I can tell, a political shot that compares favorably with the one heard in Concord MA more than 200 years ago, when the Colonists declared their independent right to have a government that responds to their needs and wishes.

 

            The ramifications of this defeat are wide ranging and will be felt nationwide as well as world-wide I think.  Further, I believe it was a definite statement by the electors of – as I heard last evening a dozen times – “the bluest of the blue states.” Which is to say… it was NOT the expected result of the Obama Administration.

 

            Things are now in a tangle that will take weeks or months to comb out – and as far as I can see, it is a healthy reaction to a very misguided and dangerous course Mr. Obama and his crew had set for the Nation.  Now we need to pray for alertness and competence to ask the Lord’s blessing on our Nation as it tries to recover its equilibrium.  Please note the citizens of Massachusetts are not the villains.  They are worthy citizens.  But we have experienced a near brush with major problems in our country – most of which still have to be solved.  I praise the Lord this is possibly the first step toward righting our course – and preserving our freedoms.  May the Lord be glorified.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM
